Humboldt District Hospital (formerly St. Elizabeth's Hospital) is a public hospital at 1210 9th Street North in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was originally called the St. Elizabeth's Hospital when it was established in 1911.[1] The hospital is staffed by nine doctors and provides general medicine, surgical, laboratory, radiology, physiotherapy, palliative care, dietary counseling, cardiology, obstetrics, urology, gynecology, internal medicine, neurology, roomotology, ears/nose/throat specialists and geriatric services.[2] Its name was changed and responsibility was transferred from the Saskatchewan Catholic Health Corporation to the Saskatoon Health Region on October 31, 2007.[3] The hospital is the largest rural hospital in the Saskatoon Health Region system.[1] The Humboldt District Hospital Foundation is a non-profit foundation that supports the efforts of the hospital.[4]

The original St. Eleizabeth's Hospital building was built in 1911, with additions in 1919 and 1928; the existing building was officially opened by then Premier Tommy Douglas in 1955.[1]

Currently under construction, the Humboldt District Health Complex is expected to house the Humboldt District Hospital and Community Health Services.[5]
